A social enrichment program requires a healthy group dynamic to be fun for the kids. We require a minimum cohort of 5 paying members registered and processed through Step Up (vendor approval pending as of June 1, 2026) or Stripe by August 7, 2026, to launch the school year. If the minimum cohort is not met by the deadline, the session will be canceled, and 100% of your PEP fund reservations or registration fees will be released.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, malicious exclusion, or disrespect toward venues. Because this is an enrichment program rather than an instructional classroom, we enforce a strict “Two Strikes” rule. A student’s first behavioral infraction results in a formal parent notification; a second infraction results in permanent dismissal from the program without a refund.

Safety is our absolute baseline. All families must execute a certified digital Activity Waiver and Release, an Emergency Medical Authorization, and a strict Student Code of Conduct before attending.

Yes.
Social Homeschooler runs like an official school elective, and consistent participation is expected. Building a close-knit friend group requires consistency. Program participants are expected to attend weekly. Frequent unexcused absences disrupt the group dynamic and may result in forfeiture or participation in the program.

We understand life happens—just communicate if you’ll miss a session. But if a member frequently misses events without notice, their ability to participate may not be renewed for the next term and no refunds or proration of funds will be provided.

No. Social Homeschooler is a secular enrichment program open to all homeschool families, regardless of religious background. No religious material or messaging is included in program activities.

This is ideal for tweens and teens ages 11 – 17 who:

• Want a real, in-person social life

• Are kind, open-minded, and respectful

• Enjoy activities that mix games, light physical activity, creativity, and conversation

• Can show up consistently and commit to being part of the group culture

Social Homeschooler is designed specifically for homeschoolers ages 11–17. If possible, based on the actual group age-band makeup, we’ll do the activities breakout-style to help different age ranges connect comfortably within their peer group.

If we have an outdoor activity planned and the weather is unsafe or uncooperative, we’ll either reschedule or swap the planned activity for an indoor backup, IF possible. If there needs to be a change due to weather, rescheduled program activities may be on a different day of the week or time or another week may be added to the club meeting calendar. IF this occurs, please be patient with us as we work out the most feasible option.

Yes, entirely. Middle and high school students build authentic relationships faster and express themselves more freely when given healthy independence. To protect your privacy and our operational flow, parents are required to drop students off at the venue and return promptly at 3:00 PM.

We meet weekly on Tuesdays from 1p to 3p, in person, at various locations throughout Central Florida. Primary areas will be the downtown Orlando / South Orlando / St. Cloud / Kissimmee areas.

Some weeks may be held at familiar spots; others will rotate depending on the activity. Once you’re fully registered, you’ll receive access to the full details of activities as they’re released via the Social Homeschooler private calendar.

Once per month, our students take their collaborative skills into the real world! During our regular Tuesday timeframe (1:00 PM – 3:00 PM), the student cohort meets at pre-coordinated interactive community venues and regional experiential facilities.

Rather than a static controlled setting, these off-site sessions utilize dynamic, team-building environments—such as cooperative escape rooms, collaborative group strategy spaces, and interactive indoor sports and physics complexes. These curated experiences are specifically designed to help older youth cultivate situational confidence, practice real-world communication, and build peer networking skills in public settings.

Just like our stationary weeks, these outings are 100% drop-off and fully facilitated by the director. Best of all, 100% of the group venue entry and facility registration fees are completely covered by your monthly program fee—meaning there are zero out-of-pocket costs or surprise bills for families on outing days.

Our program is entirely all-inclusive. We do not believe in surprise out-of-pocket expenses, hidden supply fees, or mandatory parent volunteer hours.

• The Annual Registration Fee ($50, due once per school year upon enrollment): This required fee covers student enrollment administration, program onboarding, roster placement, and the secure processing of student safety and liability documentation.

• The Monthly Enrichment Program Fee ($245/month): This fee covers the complete weekly program experience, instructional resources, and curriculum delivery. Your monthly fee includes all facility registration and entry fees for our monthly off-site experiential learning excursions, as well as the complete cost of all hands-on manipulatives, cooperative learning resources, interactive group logic assets, and secondary elective supplies and equipment.

Social Homeschooler is an in-person, weekly enrichment program for Central Florida homeschoolers ages 11–17 who want to cultivate genuine peer connections and develop real-world leadership skills. Structured like a student-led elective, our program utilizes a director-facilitated, peer-driven framework. This intentional environment allows students to collaborate, guide their own group dynamics, and build social confidence through self-directed challenges and cooperative team exercises.
